CEILS would like to invite our life and physical science community members to participate in a bi-weekly meeting centered around promoting racial justice and equity in STEM. Rather than have our usual "Journal Club" this Spring, we wanted to offer a space to discuss equity in STEM in a less formal "book club"-like setting. And rather than having to read an entire book, we propose that the resource for each meeting be something that can be read, listened to or watched in less than an hour. Thanks to Siobhan Braybrook for helping to inspire these ideas!
Please RSVP below to be included on the mailing list for these events.
Every other Thursday, 10-11 am PST beginning on April 8th, 2021
Zoom:
https://ucla.zoom.us/j/96901622398The first meeting will involve first discussing "Academia Isn’t a Safe Haven for Conversations About Race and Racism" (
https://hbr.org/2020/06/academia-isnt-a-safe-haven-for-conversations-about-race-and-racism), followed by time for attendees to discuss what they want future meetings to look like.
